One of the "side-effects" of having such a well-read blog about palaeontology is that I get quite a few queries - mainly high school students wanting to know what they need to study if they want to become a palaeontologist, or asking about dinosaurs. Now, I'm very happy to talk about Cetiosauriscus or any other aspect of my own studies, but when it comes to more general information, frankly a lot of other people have done it better.
One site that has really done it better is Dinobase. This is a phenomenal resource for anyone who wants to know anything about dinosaurs and how to study them. Check out the forum, and if your question isn't already answered, why not ask? There are many palaeontologists on hand to help out. And in particular, have a look at the blog of one of my regular commenters Dave Hone. There's no RSS feed, but that just means you'll have to make a point of going back daily to see if he's written anything new! I'd say "No pressure, Dave" but he's actually written more over Christmas than I have.
Right, I'm off to see what Dinobase has to say about my pet sauropod, Cetiosauriscus...
